DESCRIPTION

In today's challenging and competitive business environment, it has become increasingly important that we capitalise on opportunities to develop and grow our business, be it from existing or new customers. In the process of delivering one solution to meet a customer's needs, opportunities to provide additional services may arise which also will be of significant benefit to both the supplier and the customer.

Technical Professionals, often the face of the company and trusted advisors to clients, are in a unique position to uncover and respond to these opportunities, However, while very skilled technically, they may not always possess the particular skills required to uncover needs and sell additional services or solutions which would be beneficial to both the company and customers alike.

One such skill set is Solution Selling, being a sales methodology under which the focus is on customers' particular needs or problems and solutions are provided to meet those needs, rather than simply promoting an existing product or service.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this two-day programme is to assist Technical Professionals in developing all the key skills required for successful Solution Selling, underpinned by the building and maintaining of positive long-term customer relationships.
